#50934: Site Health => Background Updates

 Priority:  normal         |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Site Health    |    Version:  5.5
 Severity:  critical       |   Keywords:

---------------------------+-----------------------------
 The Site Health => Background Updates shows a "critial security issue",
 because I have disabled background updates. The output also notes that
 WordPress is version controlled via Git.

 This is not a "critical security issue" - this is exactly how I have set
 up the site, and treats a version controlled instance as a problem. The
 same checks also noted that the site is running WP 5.5 (released
 yesterday).

 Where a site is noted as being version controlled, it's a reasonable
 expectation that the people operating it have done so intentionally, and
 don't need a "critical security issue" alert which it clearly isn't.

 Proposal: where a site is version controlled, by all means note that this
 is detected but make this "info" level, not "critical security issue".
